This well-attended event started six years ago and has since become a regular feature in the School's annual calendar; which is not surprising given the importance of leadership in health care and the continued interest shown by delegates over the years. The purpose of hosting this one-day seminar has been to provide an opportunity for health care professionals to explore important issues in leadership and to assist them in improving their knowledge, skills, attitudes and work-based practices. ], Meetings /Conferences Organised, PUBLISHED
